I took my girl to see "Miracles" last night, the movie about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. The movie brought back some fond teen memories and reminded me of simpler days. The hockey scene's were very realistic and the the overall makeup of the movie made you feel like it was happening all over again.

The big memory was the goalie, Jim Craig. A hardcase from the great state of Mass. was a cousin of a guy I played street-ball with. All the kids from the hood piled in front of his TV when they played and both his parents cried when the US team won GOLD, A must-see!!!

Voodo Daddy I remember that time period well. I was delivering Liquor to Lake Placid. It was like the 1849 Gold Rush, the streets were jam packed with workers getting the sites ready for the events.The Federal Government came in and made the builders of the arena do and additional 3 million in construction. After that win, everyone came to get their pictures taken then they left and the contractors had to wait nearly three years to get their money. The STate of New York had to bail the Olympic Committee out.

AT@T had over 1000 workers there for nearly a year living in the Saranac Hotel. The Police would walk the trucks up Main Street to keep traffic moving. Two weeks before the start of the Olympics they switched to only night time only delivery. Trucks would line up at Keene and at 11.30 they could start up the hill to Lake Placid.

Lake placid is the only town were Celebrities are left alone. It is a downer for some, what no one wants my autograph. The band Alabama would play there and go across the street and party for two or three days and they were amazed that they could do that and be left alone.###
